- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Each Tuesday, our growers deliver Farm Fresh Produce to the Tri County Fresh Food Hub. We always need a hand washing and bagging produce, getting messy, and just plain having fun. Come for all or part of the time. Be prepared to get dirty and probably a little wet! All ages welcome.
Consider asking your employer to participate as a team building event, or charitable volunteering event. Contact us for details or if you have any questions.
We will meet every Tuesday starting May 30. Our last day will be Tuesday, October 24.
Young children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to teach the importance of using God’s gifts in our everyday lives in predominantly nature-rich environments. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Description
We focus on providing access to fresh local produce to all, but in food desert areas in particular. We offer cooking classes, nutrition education, with local health departments and governmental agencies to reduce barriers to fresh local food access.
We maintain some 80 raised squre foot garden beds in the South Village of Peoria and utilize a Mobile Fresh Food Van to increase access. We service Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford Counties here in Central Illinois. We are always looking to improve processes, build relationships and search for better ways of doing.
Relationships, partnerships and volunteers are at the heart of who we are.
